Magnetic closures for boxes
Magnetic closures conceal paired magnets inside the rigid chipboard of a hinged book-style lid and front wall, pulling the flap shut with a crisp, satisfying click and keeping luxury gift, PR and keepsake boxes closed neatly over hundreds of openings.

What is magnetic closures?
A magnetic box closure embeds thin neodymium or ferrite magnets directly into recessed pockets cut into thick rigid chipboard before the outer printed wrap paper is laminated over the board. Because the magnets sit completely beneath the outer wrap, the exterior stays smooth and uninterrupted while the front flap aligns and latches automatically every time the lid is lowered.
How it works
How does magnetic closures work?
- 01
Magnets are recessed into rigid chipboard
Precision slots in the front wall and hinged lid flap hold matched magnet pairs flush with the board surface.
- 02
Outer printed wrap conceals the hardware
Your printed, laminated or foil-stamped wrap paper covers the board so no metal hardware shows unless you choose an exposed tab.
- 03
Hinged flap clicks shut cleanly
As the lid closes, the concealed magnets pull the flap into alignment and hold it shut securely without stickers or tuck tabs.

FAQ
Magnetic closures: questions
Are the magnets visible on the outside or inside of the box?
No. The magnets are recessed inside the thick chipboard before the printed outer and inner wrap paper is applied, so every surface looks clean and smooth.
What is the minimum order quantity for magnetic closure boxes?
All custom rigid boxes, including book-style and collapsible magnetic closure boxes, start at 50 units.
Can magnetic closure boxes ship flat to save storage space?
Yes. Collapsible magnetic rigid boxes ship flat, pop upright in seconds and still feature the same hidden magnetic front flap.
Can I combine a magnetic closure with a ribbon tie or custom foam insert?
Yes. Many gift and PR kits pair a hidden magnetic flap with a decorative ribbon tie, inside lid printing, soft-touch lamination, foil stamping and a die-cut EVA foam insert.
Can a magnetic closure box go through the mail on its own?
No. Magnetic rigid boxes are presentation boxes, not parcel shippers; ship them inside a fitted corrugated mailer or shipping box so the corners and wrap stay pristine in transit.
Can I request a free digital proof and 3D mockup showing magnetic closures on my box?
Yes. Every order with magnetic closures includes free design help, a custom dieline, a 2D digital proof, and a 3D mockup before you pay so you can check placement and finishes.
Are there any die or plate charges when adding magnetic closures to my custom packaging order?
No. CubitPack charges zero die or printing plate fees on magnetic closures, and standard US shipping to all 50 states is included in your written quote.
How fast can I get a custom quote comparing unit prices with and without magnetic closures?
Send your product dimensions and up to three quantity tiers in the quote form, and your dedicated account manager replies in 5–7 minutes, 24/7, with side-by-side pricing.
Can I see magnetic closures in person inside the CubitPack sample kit or on a physical prototype?
Yes. You can order our physical sample kit (credited to your first order) to feel board and finish swatches, or request a custom pre-production prototype before a full run.
